Yankees prospects make Futures Game appearance

With a runner on first and no one out in the sixth inning, Yankees Double-A (Trenton) shortstop Ramiro Pena struck out against Jake Arrieta, a RHP in the Baltimore Orioles organization.

Pena was up in the count 3-1, but struck out swinging on a breaking pitch.

Jesus Montero, the other Yankees prospect in this game, is now catching in the bottom of the sixth inning. At only 18 years old, Montero is the second-youngest prospect in this game (only 17-year-old Angel Villalona, a first baseman in the San Francisco Giants organization is younger).

His talent belies his age, though. Montero, a powerful hitter at 6-4, 225 pounds, is the sixth-best prospect in the Yankees system, according to Baseball America.
